So what is in the DLC really to make it worth 20$?

As far as I'm concerned, not a damned thing.  :P 

I typically refuse to pay full price for DLC, and that goes doubly so for Paradox DLC.  Even if I do get Nemesis, it won't be until well after release when it's on sale.

16% off at Green Man Gaming   :whistle:

Fellas, fellas...  I mean *actual* sale prices, as in 50% off or better.  I appreciate the effort, though.  ;)

Hope you're ready for Dick! 


https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/stellaris-dev-diary-205-announcing-the-3-0-dick-update.1462688/

We’re happy to announce that Nemesis will release together with the 3.0 ‘Dick’ Update on April 15th! The update is of course named after author Philip K. Dick, famous for works which inspired, among other things, movies like Blade Runner and Total Recall (which also happens to be one of my favorite movies!).

Why 3.0?
We felt that the changes introduced with the new Intel system and the reworked First Contact system has enough impact on how different the game feels to warrant the change. Early- and mid game feel quite different now, in a very positive manner. Alien empires feel so much more mysterious, and charting the entire galaxy is no longer so easy. Changes like the pop growth system and the addition of industrial districts also felt impactful enough to want us to make the change.

Going forwards, we’re also gearing up to be able to be a bit more agile and deliver updates to the game a bit more frequently. I don’t want to make any grand promises quite yet, but 2021 is looking to be a very good year for Stellaris!

3.0 ‘Dick’ Features:

    New Intel system
    Reworked First Contact
    Reworked Pop Growth
    New Industrial Districts & some changes to production of Alloys/Consumer Goods
    New Espionage system & Gather Intelligence Operation (other Operations will be a part of Nemesis)
    Numerous bug fixes & improvements





The dev diary goes on to add that the intel/espionage system(s) have been simplified somewhat, compared to their initial versions in the earlier dev diaries.  Part of me regrets that, but I can seen the necessity of it.  Trying to keep track of multiple parallel intel operations inside of another empire would probably cause far more headaches than it would be worth. 


The more frequent updates bit sounds good too, but I'll believe that when I see it.

I don't think it's that kind of expansion.  :whistle:

Feature breakdown for the 3.0 update: 







it really does look like a solid list of changes & improvements.  If even half of them are as good as are being touted, the update will be a major success. 

For myself, I just want colony & sector management to stop massively sucking.  If the update accomplishes nothing else, I'll be ecstatic.

I think I'm waiting to get back into this game until this update drops.
